Course Content (Syllabus)
skills for the development of multi-criteria models in a Geographical Information Systems environment that will contribute to the protection/management of water resources and the prevention of geohazards, concerning among others: (a) the vulnerability of groundwater and the endangerment of water resources in various forms of pollution, (b) the risk of flooding, (c) landslide problems with an emphasis on the effect of water, as well as
scientific knowledge based on up-to-date knowledge and documentation with relevant cases of application in Greece and workdwide. In addition, students can acquire basic knowledge from the teaching and application of statistical and geoinformatics tools used in the relevant research subjects.
